I came down with a strange illness yesterday which accounts for this bit of nonsense.

Unbegotten


To be unbegotten is really rotten,
rotten to the core.

To be got what you've got for naught,
is a wonderfully terrible way to score.

Nevermore, nevermore, no, no, and no,
no way to be, no, nevermore.

For what you've got for getting,
remembering or forgetting.

Forgetting to remember once more,
what you wrote last night the night before.

As you went in the come out door,
betting it all on one pot to score.

And now you are unbegotten,
without a pot to piss in anymore.

And if you understand a word of this,
you're a better man than me, you see.

For I have found that to confound,
is far a better poem be.

You agree?

Move into another room, and
forget what you went for..
as your mind only focuses on
what is Now in your view...

A very done well nonsense poem Ron. Skillfully executed nonsensical poetry can be a real challenge to do well. This was definitely done well and cleverly. Forgetfullness is a plague upon us all in bad ways and in good. Bob

Fascinating misuse of words, Ron. And probably more difficult to do than correct text. Must have been a doozy of an illness.

Many days I stay confused, and it worsens the older I get. I figure most people my age (I will be 70 Decemberr 1) could probably say the same thing. Sometimes my forgetfulness is funny, so I have learned to laugh at myself. Recently, my wife was in the bathroom, standing at the lavatory, putting on her face for the day. I walked in, with my left arm behind, laughing. She said, "What have you done now, David?" I brough my arm around for her to see. I had two watches on my left wrist. That's just a sample of my daily absentmindedness. No need for me to continue. You get the point. Loved your play with words here. You're quite good at it. The sad part is: I understand most of it. But that certainly doesn't make me a better man than you. Quite the contrary, Ron.

Holy shit balls! Whatever you've gotten
it sure is rotten
Let's hope your lose it
and not confuse it
with inspiration...
it's an abomination.

And I cannot pretend to understand, because I don't want to be a better man, or any kind of a man. So I will keep the secret that I completely relate.

Not bad at all Ron, maybe you should pray that you will come down with this illness more often? If it is contagious I should come over and catch it because I am running on emty….

Hah! Why the hell not, Ron, why the hell not? You have described my life for the past couple of years in regards to not remembering what the hell I was doing ten minutes ago or what I was thinking. Yes, some people think poetry should confound, but you see, I understand this bit of whimsical outpouring of yours, but I'm not a better man, I'm just there with you.
